  • Navigating the CP reflective project
    The reflective project is one of the four core components of the IB Career-related Programme (CP). It is an in-depth exploration of an ethical dilemma related to students’ career interests. Produced over an extended period of time, it’s designed to draw together key elements of the students’ CP experience, including their career-related study, Diploma Programme courses, and the other components of the CP core.
    This episode of IB Voices features Rebecca Austin Pickard, a former CP Coordinator, IBEN workshop leader, and author of the textbook “CP Reflective Project” (Hodder, 2019). Join us as she shares her insight and advice for reflective project supervisors about how they can proactively support students as they complete the CP reflective project.

  • Health and well-being in the PYP with Anthony de Giorgio
    Today we’ll be exploring health and well-being with educator Anthony de Giorgio. Anthony has a wealth of experience in the field of physical and health education from the PYP all the way through to the diploma programme. He’s also a member of the IB educator network, a workshop leader and is currently studying for a Masters in Professional Kinesiology in Toronto. We recorded our conversation at the PYP subject symposium in 2019 where Anthony joined us to lend his experience and expertise to the review of the PYP scope and sequences with a focus on personal, social and physical education. We started our conversation by considering the current focus on health and well-being in the media and the wealth of research on leading happier, healthier lives and the opportunities this offers for learning in the primary years.

  • Art, agency and activism
    Today’s guest is Mark Shillitoe, a PYP teacher at the International School of Delft in the Netherlands. He’s held various roles in PYP schools across Europe including that of PYP coordinator, and digital learning coach, but now he’s back in the classroom alongside pursuing a Masters in Art Education. Mark is a thoughtful, reflective and provocative practitioner who isn’t afraid to break down barriers in the pursuit of learning. Our conversation explored art, activism and a touch of magic, but we started out by considering learner and teacher agency and how teachers can start to introduce the concept into their practice. A note: this interview was recorded in 2019.
